I’ve been storing my research as text files (manual copy and paste of web page content) for years. And, I’ve wanted a _search history first_ plugin for web search to find pages I missed saving, but recall reading. Since the former takes time and the latter doesn’t exist, I gather I could buy storage and save browsing using this tool. It would be interesting to see how it works in practice—saving so much data. Also, For work I’d be interested to know how it works for password protected sites like banking, social media, etc.

I’ve been working on an app that’s pretty much exactly “the latter”! [0] The amount of disk space it takes up isn’t crazy. It has been very useful for me. [0] https://apse.io https://apse.io

Just chiming in to say that Firefox location bar has some great filters [1] that might help you search history first (and other things). It doesn't do a full text search, but often helps me in a way I think you're after. If you type: "^ worms" in the searchbar it will search your history for 'worms' and show the results in the dropdown. Typing "* worms" will search your bookmarks instead. The rest of the shortcut symbols are listed on the linked page. Hope that helps! [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search

It works fine for sessions. This is because it saves all HTTP responses (including headers). So in `serve` mode it replays everything as if the server was giving it to you. But in practice, cookies don't matter much (unless their used by the client in JS), since we're not talking to a server anymore, just serving responses from disk. I'll add the sessions info to the README.
